Don Juan Comes Back from the War

Don Juan Comes Back from the War
by Ödön von Horvath

Westminster College | November 12–21, 2015

The standout aspect of this particular production was the solid and decisive direction by Mark Fossen, who has an enormous strength for creating breathtaking imagery on stage. There were moments wherein I found myself lost in a lighting choice or an obviously carefully choreographed blocking arrangement that turned the stage and the actors on it into a living, breathing piece of art.

The anti-hero of the title returns from the front in a fervour of despair. The girl he is searching for has died and the romantic ideal he is trying to construct is opposed by endless recriminations from the succession of women he encounters.
